Care Instructions

for your

Crist Spear

   Thank you for purchasing a Crist polespear.

 In order to keep your Crist spear in top notch

 condition we recommend the following:

•  Make sure where the 5/16” spear shaft attaches to the spear that it gets a light coat of anti-seize grease. This will prevent the salt from building up between the shaft and the pole and make removal very easy.

•  If for some reason the shaft is hard to remove take the set screws out and use a penetrating fluid in the holes and where the shaft slides into the pole. Let this sit for a half an hour then twist the shaft with some pliers and this should remove it.

•  The two set (grub) screws are ¼-28x1/4“ and take an 1/8” hex (Allen) wrench to tighten and remove. (Wrench and 2 extra set screws were included with your spear)

•  The set screws when screwed in or out will have resistance THIS IS NORMAL.  By using a locking Heli-coil there is no need for a thread locker to be used to hold them in place.  Anti seize grease should be used here as well to make them easier to place and remove.

•  If you have a two or three-piece spear you may need to use Teflon tape on the threads.  This will help keep the spear together.  A couple wraps should do it.

• When you’re finished diving/hunting, rinse the spear with fresh water and let it dry before putting it away. If you have a two or three-piece spear disassemble the spear and spray off the ends as well.

• With a little care your spear should last a lifetime.  Enjoy it and shoot us a picture every now and then.

• If you have any questions or concerns please contact us and we will respond promptly.
